Steinberg Cubasis

Now with Audiobus support, this is a very appealing iPad DAW

MusicRadar’s verdict:

"GarageBand might not be as powerful, but it's certainly in the same ballpark at less than a tenth the price. However, Cubasis now has an ace up its sleeve in the form of well-implemented Audiobus support, making it a great option if you want to create a multi-app iPad studio."

Arturia iMini

Is this the definitive Minimoog for iPad?

MusicRadar’s verdict:

This would be a terrific Minimoog emulation at any price, but it's a steal for what you pay. It's too bad it doesn't integrate easily with most other apps, but if you're a live performer or a Tabletop user who's longing to add the classic Moog sound to your iOS rig, you'd be nuts not to buy it."

Blue Mikey Digital

Stereo recording on your iOS device

MusicRadar’s verdict:

"If you want to record stereo sound on your iOS device, you can use a pair of mics with an appropriate audio interface such as the Tascam iU2, but if you're looking for a neat and extremely compact portable solution, Mikey Digital could be the way to go."

Akai Professional iMPC

An MPC for the iPad

MusicRadar’s verdict:

"iMPC is certainly fun to throw beats together with, but it's all very 'short range', and with the exception of the excellent bundled samples, nothing really sets it apart from the many other grooveboxes and mini-DAWs in the App Store."
